Well Jon it looks you might have to span your compilation "The Robert Johnson Album" over 2 discs after this tour!

I didn't realise at first either, but when I did some checking I found that 
“When You Got A Good Friend” is a Robert Johnson cover, and to the best of 
my knowledge marks the 14th Johnson song EC has performed in his career. 
Considering Johnson only recorded 29 different tunes in his short lifetime, 
Eric has now covered almost 50% of them! Great to see him reviving another 
Johnson song "Kindhearted Woman Blues" again too, which he played a few 
times in 1978. Apparently only "WYGAGF" and "Nobody Knows You" (only 
performed in Hiroshima) are acoustic, the remainder of the set is electric. 

Cheers, 
Jon
